How post partum are you? And are you BFing? I lost weight without trying when BFing (put it all on afterwards because I'd developed such a sweet tooth and had to train myself back to a healthy diet) but I know some people found they only lost the last of the baby weight after weaning.

If you still have a tiny baby don't worry, it can take a while to get back to yourself. I didn't do any exercise again until my youngest was 2 and didn't get my style back until he was 4, I just found the baby stage overwhelming.

I would say 16 but it could just be your baggy clothes. You would look loads slimmer in clothes that fit.

adoggymama · 02/11/2018 10:31

16? 18? I'm not too sure on sizes and you look quite short

Frosty66611 · 02/11/2018 10:33

You look about a size 16 in those clothes. But I’m sure if you wore something more flattering you’d look more like a 12-14

Bubba1234 · 02/11/2018 10:34

12

E20mom · 02/11/2018 10:35

I'd say 14

Cherries101 · 02/11/2018 10:39

You look scruffy in baggy clothes.

pouraglasshalffull · 02/11/2018 10:44

You look like a 14, but you would look slimmer if you wore clothes that weren't too big for you. If you wore a smaller clothes size you'd look like a 12

KiwiFroot · 02/11/2018 10:48

I'd say you look a size 14.

Didyeeaye · 02/11/2018 10:50

I'd say a 12'14 but the your clothes are not doing you any favours at all! Even treat yourself to some long tops and leggings that won't drown you if you loose any more weight. That being said in properly fitting clothes you probably have a nice figure x

Agree that those clothes are very unflattering.
I am smaller than you and have awful legs, so those kind of trousers make me look even smaller and chunkier than I am.

StoatofDisarray · 02/11/2018 11:05

14-16

These threads are never a good idea....

You've grown and birthed a human OP-be kind to yourself

ileclerc · 02/11/2018 13:23

I don't know but whatever size I reckon you'd look at least two sizes smaller I trousers that fit.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 02/11/2018 13:41

I don't know what size you are - or look - but I am fascinated to know where that picture was taken!

No comment on your size, because I'm rubbish, but something that has helped me is slimming world. I take my 1yo with me, and it's given me that boost to eat properly and have that group of people around me who all support eachother! 7 weeks and I'm 1 stone down and feeling more positive about myself. That's what is more important, how you see yourself, not how anyone else does!
